This blog is into Arduino and electronics for Beginners from Malaysia. I will be focusing on what projects you can use the Arduino for, Arduino shields, physical computing and interaction with the real world using various types of sensors and actuators. Some focus would be on Arduino in Malaysia like where to obtain electronics parts, gathering, workshops and meetups. Please join the facebook group for discussions, additional project photos and information sharing among beginners.

Setup Nordic nRF24L01 RF modules to both Arduino UNO and Raspberry Pi

In my process of building a Wireless Sensor Network, I obtained a few low cost RF module from Inhaos that are compatible with Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01. My plans are to have these low cost RF modules replaces the wires for my sensor network on Arduino and connect them to Raspberry Pi as the IP gateway to the rest of the Internet.

This entry will show you on how to setup both Arduino UNO & Raspberry Pi to connect to these nRF24L01 modules.

Some basic information on these low cost RF modules, they communicate using SPI to the microcontroller and works on raw speed of 250Kbps, 1Mbps and 2Mbps.
